The Day Where Past and Present Coexist!
So, I promised my school friends at our recent reunion that I would write a poem about it. This is dedicated to them!
Twenty! Theword weighs heavy and poignant
Making uswonder if time flew by or crawled past
From thedays of uniforms, hangouts, and annoying fights
To grow upinto adults with stressful lives
A day tomeet, to become a child again
A trip intothe past, one-way time travel
But withadult responsibilities attached to the hip
Rose-tintedglasses which become olive branches
So full oflaughter, hugs, cheers, and boos
Of course, adash of tears, a touch of nostalgia
Brimmingover the edges, cascading like waterfalls
Or the burstof showers, a fitting finale to a day well spent
Changeseverywhere, loss and gains
Highs andlows, rock bottoms and mountain tops
All leftoutside the little bubble that grew bigger
Embracedeach of us, managing not to burst
Good thingscome to an end, but do they have to?
The answersare maybes and if nots- vague and wistful
And so itstays, dormant for now but nurturing with hope
Until theadults become kids again, in another school reunion
